An Argentine TV station made an incredible ad for the Copa América tournament featuring Donald Trump


The United States is hosting the Copa América soccer tournament for the first time in June, and an Argentine television station decided to have a little fun with that fact.
The station's advertisement for coverage of the event is set to one of Donald Trump's "I'm going to build a wall" speeches in which he blasts "dangerous" South Americans for coming over the border. "These are total killers," Trump rants. "These are not the nice, sweet little people that you think, okay?"
Of course, when set to dramatic music with footage of Argentina's greatest soccer stars, Trump's message takes on an entirely different meaning. Watch the brilliant ad, below. Jeva Lange
